So I thought if I can use a bump map to create, uh, bumps on a surface... I thought I could somehow make it glow/emit light?
Is there a node for that, or maybe there's a method to do that?

2$\begingroup$ the emission node is what you are looking for. $\endgroup$– GiantCowFilmsSep 29, 2016 at 17:43

You can use an emission node, with a mix shader node (use the map map for the factor input). Now your object will emit light based on the bump map.

$\begingroup$ So uhh yeah this kinda works... but its not really emitting light. I don't see any light on the ground or on other surfaces, its just kind of really bright.... $\endgroup$ Sep 30, 2016 at 23:26

$\begingroup$ Hey man, I think this is a fantastic idea that should be explored, shoot me a line at www.zemaraim.com if you'd like to collaborate a bit :) (I hope I am permitted to post my website here)... $\endgroup$ Sep 30, 2016 at 23:30

$\begingroup$ Thing is, I'd like to use the emission along with glossy and anisotropic nodes... kinda new to blender, so still not sure how things work correctly here.... tiny bit too complex.. $\endgroup$ Sep 30, 2016 at 23:39

$\begingroup$ @PeterGašperan Try upping the Emission strength. If that doesn't work, something else is wrong. You can send my a .blend file (I'm sending you an email) $\endgroup$ Oct 1, 2016 at 0:13

$\begingroup$ I am sorry man, just realised I did not had the email set in the contact form on my homepage, re-installed it just recently and forgot to set it, I appologize greatly! $\endgroup$ Oct 1, 2016 at 11:11
